Guest guest Posted September 15, 2000 Report Share Posted September 15, 2000 : let us know more about natural ways of pesticides when you can. I live in Ohio, so bugs are not nearly as bad as down south or the other warmer states. But I have found one of the best natural ways of killing many bugs (especially ants) is grits. The ants each it, take it back to the nest/queen and then a few days later when it rains, they drink the water and the grits expand....no more ants and often times kills the queen quickly and without the hassle of pesticides.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 I saw an info-mercial on tv early this morning and it was advertising a device you plug into your outlets that is supposed to set off some kind of signal that annoys the nervous systems of insects and rodents. They said it keeps them from nesting and multiplying in the walls, and would " run them off " ! I didn't take down the info, but I'm curious if they work?

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 Grits is an interesting idea. I know some people here get very irratated by the abundance of pigeons and look at them as serious pests. They feed them rice that has a similar result. Though I certainly do not condone this practice it does support the theory of grits and ants. One popular treatment for roaches and a few other basic pests is something very safe to use and causes no environmental threat - Boric Acid. This is not caustic to humans or pets or plants, but roaches walk through it picking it up and I understand it wears on them like sand paper and has other harmful effects that are terminal. It is fairly quick, travels to the nest and works indefinately. Application is a fine powder that you squeeze out of a plastic container around base boards, deains, windows and doors. The program I am in looks at methods designing buildings that creates an environment which is not desireable to the pests, so they simply don't go there. It includes materials, landscaping and general education of tennants. Anyone want a house designed that is resistant to termites, mice. roaches and pigeons? Let me know!

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 I had a device that did that, and true to the advertisment, I never saw a pest. However, the high pitched sound grated on my nerves and teiggered migraines ....I gave up on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Robbin, Bugs are attracted to far more than the things we think of as food! Many building products decompose into edible matter for roaches; Termites look at wood framing as a bounty; dust mites feed off dandruff and they in turn are food for larger bugs; insulation gets damp from humidity and grows mold [black mold is both common and lethal]; then there are basic homestead issues - bees and wasps house in any open space and bugs of ALL class look for warmth when cold!!! There are many aspects to the destructive ability of insects, rodents; birds and micro-organisms but few compair to the damage caused by insecticides. If you build something with landscapeing that is not attractive to certain local insects that are very prevalent it will lessen the likelyhood that they will infest your location. A certain size of sand placed under the concrete floor of a building is too large for Termites to move and too small for them to move through. Closing up the thousands of small openings in construction joints and around windows, doors, vents, etc. will not only reduce your cooling/heating costs but also reduce opportunity for migrant insects to enter. Changing certain exterior features of a building will discourage roosting of troublesome birds. At an airport - birds are potentially a fatal issue while at home they are just sometimes a nuisance. One of our first test sites was an existing school [in the bible belt] with severe rodent and insect problems. After e retrofit they have gone 4 years with no use of chemicals and a zero pest presence! Needless to say they are very pleased. So, there are many safe ways to deal with what 'bugs' you! ;-) [ & Skyler] Re: Pesticides coool this sounds great but bugs are attracted to foods sweets mostly if someone leaves sugar things out i will know ants are around it with a trail same for roaches i have found out that if you spray windex or something on the trail they dont return as along as the sweet or food is gone also my son use to line the sink with dish washing liquid and that stopped them also ants are very strange they can pick up a odor and go for it then they leave a scent for the army to follow them and they have that scent to follow home this combat gel i use works great so far but the boric acid dont kill for long they grow immune to it and i dont use it anymore i heard if a nuclear war broke out the roaches would servive it i wish i knew how to get rid of them totally since my hubby and son and melissa have asthma and i am scared of the chemicals i dont use sprays just the gel combat RobbinFor links to websites with JRA info visit: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Village/8414/Links.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 This head trauma trigger that we are going on about may apply to some, but like in my sister in law's case (she died three years ago of pnuemonia from M.S.)as a nurse she never had any head traumas and led a fairly sheltered life except for growing up on a farm and drinking unpasturised milk like most of our forfathers.Now in the past M.S. was very seldom seen, was that cause we had a stronger gene pool?Or ate better?Less toxins for sure. I myself had more than my share of knocks on the head,bad whiplash, washed up in gasoline and diesel fuel after repairing a greasy transmision,or tractor, sprayed malathion on trees for years,welded aluminum and galvanised steel.drank unpasturised milk as everyone did,heck even milked the cows by hand,(now that's up close and personal) Do cattle carry the lymes tick? Yet my brother who didn't milk cows, and only fixed cars and trucks, him and I were the only ones to get M.S.It left my sisters alone Thank God! I don't think kicking this can around will get us anywhere but it is interesting. I can just hear someone saying this is not LDN related so why bother ....... well because I am seeing results with the LDN even though I have abused my body for fourty years. Does this mean that it is only for those of us with Crohns, M.S., Fibro, or all the other listed diseases ? No! If I had my way everyone in the world would be taking LDN as a preventative measure, I am sure the health care system would not be in any trouble and hospitals would be less stressed. Please excuse this rant but it's a grey rainy day and I had to let it all hang out!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Hi, When I was 12 I was haytiming on a farm and caught my foot in one of the strings that tie around the bails of hay. It was tied to the back of the trailer. I then fell from the trailer head first and banged my head. Shortly after I had my first double vision symptoms which lasted two weeks. It was suspected then It might be MS.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I grew up on a farm and sometimes almost bathed in pesticides. And sheep dip. And lots of other chemicals, herbicides, etc. Tom from Edmonton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
